    Bacon and eggs sandwich.

    Extremely slow service with a worker who didn't seem to have any knowledge of the food or how to cook it. Our food kept getting mixed up with another customers order , she was making multiple orders at the same time, which got her confused and flustered. The quality of the food was worse than a school cafeteria. The "sourdough" bread was cheap white sliced generic bread, the bacon was burned, the cheese, which was an "add on" was sliced kraft cheese that wasn't even melted.

    Boba menu

    Solid little cafe. They out source some items, like their Indian snacks. Others are made on site. The boba and teas. Breakfast review. Decent sandwhich. Nothing outstanding nut nothing wrong. Store bread. Eggs fresh. Offered with may and cheese. There is Hershey ice cream. A full lunch deli selection. More vegan and gluten free baked items are on a grab and go cooler. This cozy spot has room to sit and is trying hard to fill a niche. Third space, breakfast spot, lunch, snack, dessert. If it figures out how to make more in house items, or picks a more definite identity, I have no doubt they will be around for a while. Went back repeatedly for tea. Enjoy local.

    The service was excellent and the coffee was great. The breakfast sandwich was a bit dry but tasty. Location is convenient but easy to miss because it is attached to a convenience store. It is just off I-95 so a great spot for travelers in need of good coffee. They have a large, professional, espresso "machine." These folks are serious about their coffee products!

    Cold Brew with oat milk.

    Locally owned coffee shop right off 95 in Benson. It is attached to a gas station. My family and I spent the night in Dunn, NC on our way from Tampa to Pennsylvania. I wanted to grab a coffee from a local shop before getting back on 95 and heading north. While there were a few options, only one seemed to be open on Sunday morning. That was The Grind. We rolled in at 9:12. Online it said they opened at 9. I pulled the door. Locked. There were no hours on the door. Great, hoodwinked. Corporate coffee here I come. As I waited for a break in the pouring rain, a car pulled up and honked at me. Out steps the owner and his employee. They opened the shop. I stepped in and grabbed a cold brew (they serve Larry's Coffee) with oat milk. It was a good cold brew, that the employee asked if he could adjust in any way. I told him he did it well the first time and we continued our journey. Loved the cold brew and locally owned vibes.

    One thin slice of turkey and American cheese.

    Let me start with the fact I love meatball sandwiches. As a kid in Delaware, that was my favorite…read morehoagie of choice when not having a cheesesteak. I had high hopes for this place but they were greatly exceeded. This was arguably the best meatball sandwich I have ever had! I was not expecting that from a place in Angier, NC and I don't give that designation lightly. The meatballs were perfection, served in a nice crusty roll with fresh mozzarella and a fantastic sauce. I want to drive back down there just thinking about it and I live 45 minutes away. I also had a cannoli and it was exceptional as well. I'm a cannoli junky and this one did not disappoint. I often don't like the ones where the shell is coated in chocolate because they're often some manufactured shell dipped in waxy chocolate. Not the case here. The quality of the chocolate this shell was dipped in was excellent. If you're in the area and want a great Italian sandwich, absolutely stop by. It's so good it gets the rare Stevie K Certified Legit AF designation.

    The current rendition of Giuseppe's is definitely NOT what is pictured!!! It seems to be a totally…read moredifferent location and business. We walked in very confused. It was empty! No customers, maybe a half of one shelf of Italian food items, fountain drink machine was out of everything. No meatballs, no grilled chicken, no music playing. No atmosphere. We walked out. What a disappointment. Went to Napper Tandy's down the street and had a great lunch with a great vibe. Rest in peace Giuseppe's.

    JP's is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen but you probably knew that already. I am not a gluten-free…read moreperson but I live with a few. Most gluten-free store-bought items taste like sawdust and cardboard. Not here. I can say with certainty that the baked goods here rival gluten containing baked goods. Their oatmeal or chocolate chip creme sandwiches are my favorite. Cinnamon roles a close second. If you're trying to keep your house gluten free without making non-gluten-free household members sad from low quality poor tasting GF food...then this is where you need to shop. I can certify that I am not sad eating GF goods from here whereas I am with popular name brands such as Udis. As a West Virginian, I have rarely seen pepperoni rolls made outside of WV except here. For them to be gluten free I've never seen anywhere else. They are exceptional especially if you put them in a toaster oven and let the cheese melt and the pepperoni sizzle and the bread get a little toast on it. This is an extremely small shop with no public restroom. Most of the items are frozen but they do have fresh daily offerings. They will heat up items for you such as a cinnamon roll if you can't wait to get home, just ask! As with all things GF, there is a GF-tax. It is expensive. But again, most GF people are not surprised they have to pay a little extra. JP's shows you why it's worth it though.

    We needed some gluten-free pies for Thanksgiving so we ordered a pumpkin and apple one from this…read moreshop. We were pretty impressed at the large variety of gluten-free items (e.g., pies, rolls, bread, cakes, Mac n Cheese, Chicken Nuggets, etc.). The pies we got were both very good. The apple pie had a lot of delicious crumbles on top. We pre-ordered the pies so they were ready when we dropped by for pickup.
